Some jade materials have been preliminarily cut and have not been processed or carved, so they are still raw stones. For cut jade materials, we need to look at the condition of the cut, whether it is smooth, and whether the green inside (all jadeite raw stones are green) is consistent in color, neither too dark nor too light, but just right. What are the tips for selecting jadeite raw stones? How to choose good jadeite rough stone? Raw stone usually refers to jadeite that has not been processed or carved. The jade we buy has been processed and made into jewelry. It is also difficult for us to get access to raw stones, after all, we are not in the jade industry. For jade merchants, selecting raw stones is their job. They need to select good raw stones to make high-quality jade jewelry. So what are the techniques for selecting jade raw stones? How should we choose good jadeite raw stone? 1. Jade without cuts The raw stone is also called jade material, which is a large piece of jade material. The shapes are different, some are big, some are small, but the edges are all round and there are no cuts, which means that this piece of raw stone is truly the most original and has not been cut yet. 2. The condition of the cut jade material Some jade materials have been preliminarily cut and have not been processed or carved, so they are still raw stones. For cut jade materials, we need to look at the condition of the cut, whether it is smooth, and whether the green inside (all jadeite raw stones are green) is consistent in color, neither too dark nor too light, but just right. 3. The original stone will have some convex and concave marks After the raw stone is unearthed, many people in the industry will study the value of the stone. They will dig, grind, and rub it in various ways. The raw stone will still be the raw stone, but it will leave convex and concave marks. But it doesn’t matter, the subsequent carving process will restore the smooth surface. 4. Are there any cracks on the jade material? You also need to check whether there are cracks on the raw stone. These cannot be seen with the naked eye, so you need to look carefully with a magnifying glass, following the grain of the jade. If there are no cracks, it means it is a good raw stone. 5. Defects appear after polishing Another inspection method is polishing. After polishing, whether the original stone has cracks or flaws can be immediately shown. However, after polishing, even if the raw stone has been carved and processed, the polished jade material is no longer called a raw stone. It is fine if it can be put to use, but if not, it will lose its original value. 6. Find a professional organization for identification Having said so much, it is still difficult for ordinary people who don’t know much about jade to identify good jadeite raw stones. You still need to find a professional organization to appraise it, and find someone who is truly knowledgeable and understands jade to appraise the raw stone.
